I've mentioned in another thread that mine seemed to be a little short in the power department. That didn't get any better, so after about 200 shots, I decided to take it down for a look-see. Overall, I'm impressed with the way it's put together. Then I found the problem. The inside of my compression cylinder was completely trashed!
It looked like an engine that had thrown a rod! So many gouges and lumps that I couldn't even hone it down!
The only smooth area was the last 1/4 or so of the tube! Not to be stopped, I ordered a kit with another piston, seal, and chamber. I really like this gun. It'll be nice to see what it can really do.

It's one of those guns that catches your eye. Kind of like a moose. We joke here in Maine about how they are made up of leftover parts when God made the animals. The QB57 looks like a spare parts gun lol. Looks like a lot of fun to shoot. I'll have to add one to my backyard blasters collection.
